The tidal and sea current turbines are one of potential utilization of renewable energies as well as offshore wind ones. However they possibly produce efficiently electricity because of high density of water to air and more steadiness of flow to winds, hydro turbine generation system is less employed than wind one. We are studying an application of Straight Wing Vertical Axis Hydro Turbine Generation Systems in the tidal current. This paper presents the results of hydraulic model test using 2-dimensional channel and field test.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
